Hi CD Praying that that your sickness has gone away now and that your day improves. Praying for patience and some giggles and fun for you over the next couple of days. Hang on in there. It will get easier, one day!!

MJIM - do you do hugs? If not, duck!!{{{{{{{hug}}}}}}}}} Praying that your "chat" after school is productive. Looking at your profile, it seems that this might be a problem at school, rather than everywhere. Or is your little man flexing his muscles at home too? If not, maybe your chat could focus on you asking how school are going to help him to settle in, and what strategies they are going to use now? It may be that you can help them reflect on what is causing his behaviour too. (There speaks the parent of two active little boys.)

notsofarnow · 04/11/2008 14:07

feeling a bit battered been to see counsellor attatched to GP who I saw back last Jan. She then referred me to CBT and this was a follow up. Came out feeling worse than I went in which she said I would bec it hadn't been therapy really but more her talking to me. Said a lot of stuff that made sense but hurts bec I have to look at myself how I am. And I don't like it.

Cd hope u feel better.

Mary hope there;s some better news today.

For all those children being little pickles pray that today is a better day.

PandaG · 04/11/2008 14:10

hello all, been praying as I read through the thread.

much love to you xx

Swaliswan · 04/11/2008 15:30

Just a quick post which I'm afraid is going to be a bit selfish....

DD was up and down last night with a temperature so I haven't had much sleep but I can't get to sleep now. I'm getting very nervous about my appointment with the midwife later. Anyway, stuff to do before appointment including picking up urine speci bottle from GP surgery and filling it!

MaryBS · 04/11/2008 15:57

Praying SS, MJIM and also for OJ.

No, MIL and BIL/SIL aren't Christians.

CaptainDippy · 04/11/2008 19:22

Evening - DH away, girls in bed asleep & I am already in PJs

Praying for DS, MJIM. So very difficult for you. I hope the meeting at school is productive & you and his teacher(s) can find some ways of coping with the behaviour. You are not a bad mum and you are not the only parent in this world to be dealing with this. > >> xxxxxx

How did your day go SS? How is DD? I hope she is doing better & sleeps well tonight and your day has not been to stressful my sweet xxxx

DD3 was up a bit last night with something or another She is not 100% atm, so please pray no repeat performance tonight while DH is away and reasonable start tomorrow, please

DD was sick at the childminder's and is poorly with a temp again. I'm not sure that I feel able to look after a sick baby right now but she really needs her mummy. My midwife appointment went well and she found the FHB easily. Blood, BP and urine all fine. Still large for dates but don't care atm. I think this will be another early baby though.

Just been reading through each of the messages and wanted to add my prayers for each person and each situation.

MJIM, what sort of things does he get up to, and when during the day, dare I ask??

myjobismum it might be worth getting in touch with National Childrens home they do work with families and with young children on many different issues. If they don't work in your area ask Health Visitor who does work and what help is available. Or maybe the school knows but very often schools are not very clued up - well from my observations their not.

We have something called 'Early intervetion team' who are able to refer to different agencies. sorry hope that helps not trying to interfere but just give you some guidence.

I wonder what makes him tick. Maybe star charts and rewards is the way to go. It must be so hard and I don;t know what I would be tbh. My ds has been on recieving end of a boy in his class who so far has scarred his head with a plastic rake and gave him a huge bruise just before half term with a rolling pin over the head.

CaptainDippy · 05/11/2008 10:49

Definitely speak to HV on Fri am. Glad talking to DO has helped to - she is wonderful - keep talking about it and keeping praying. It is just a phase, even if it doesn't feel like it just now. My DD2 is awful atm, having loads of wee and poo accidents - during the day and at night when we have had no problems for months; screaming, hitting, scratching herself, truly awful - I just lay my hands on her & pray for God's peace & God's Spirit to work through her. xx Hope your car crisis ges sorted out soon too. xx

Right-
dd1 has fractured her right humerous as it goes into the joint in her elbow. It is very very swollen at the moment and still in a back slab because of this. It is very slightly displaced, but not badly enough to pin, but as the swelling is holding the fracture in place that may change. Please pray she doesn't need surgery. Plaster comes off again on Friday for x-ray and assessment- poor thing.She is determined, however to go to school tomorrow.

DS2- please give thanks that his red cell count has come up from 7.1 to 9.9-hurrah. The consultant is so pleased we have been discharged- so no more blood test for poor ds!

me- on antibiotics for a sinus and chest infection. Very, very tired but mightily relieved about ds2.

Praying for you all, hope things are Ok with you DO and MaryBS-prayers for your family.

THANK YOU for your prayers for my lovely children.

MaryBS · 05/11/2008 20:15

MIL is still in hospital, still hasn't had the echocardiogram, but is seeing the heart specialist tomorrow. She apparently is very bored and wants to go home! Thank you for your prayers...

JentlyDoesIt · 05/11/2008 21:17

Hello!

Mary - contined prayers for your MIL. I imagine she must be bored, will she enjoy books / magazines or puzzle books etc?

Sooz - Prayers for strength to keep on digging and for DH's recovery

MJIM - poor old DS (and you) hope you find a plan that works for you all soon. How is the lovely DD? Isn't DO marvellous?!

CD - just hello and hugs for you

M44 - continued prayers for your DC's. what a brave DD to want to go to school. Hurrah for no more bloods for DS too

All fine here, everything ticking along nicely...

notsofarnow · 05/11/2008 21:57

ok I know animals are not important in the greater scheme of things but the cat got out about 4.30 and she hasn't come back. She usually will come if you call her and shake her food. Don't know if she's of galavanting or frightened to death somewhere. She's only 6 months old.

I have CBT tomorrow so please pray that the other counsellor will have spoken to her about a positive way foreward.

Love and prayers for everyone. I do read just not good at matching names to situations by the time i've got to the end. hmmmmmm

MaryBS · 06/11/2008 07:21

Praying NSFN.

Yes JDI, she likes magazines/puzzle books. I should imagine my 2 SILs are overloading her with those (they're a lot closer to the hospital).

Praying that ALL on this thread (including lurkers) may feel God's peace and His love for them...
